Apple Crisp Recipe

My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Apple Crisp is the best dessert for the early fall when the sweet and firm apples are just in season.

I know you didn’t want to know that, but I felt I had to share. Have I ever told you I’m a sucker for sweets? Like, big time.

I can’t have them around the house because I don’t make responsible decisions when it comes to sugar. Like the one time I made a giant batch of chocolate chip cookies, then refused to give any of them away so I ate cookies and milk for dinner for like, an entire week. And no, unfortunately for me that’s not an exaggeration.

I definitely don’t discriminate when it comes to desserts but my favorites are pies and cobblers, so this recipe hits a home run in my book. It’s actually not my recipe, it’s my grandmother’s.

It’s been in the family for many many years. I just know I’ve been eating it a long time and it’s damn good.

When my mom makes Apple Crisp, she doubles the delicious sugary crisp portion of the recipe and that makes it EXTRA delicious, so feel free to experiment.

Most recipes I post are very versatile. You can swap this for that, and so on. This one is definitely not versatile.

OK, I guess it could be versatile, but I feel like you shouldn’t make any substitutions until you’ve tried the original. And there’s one non-negotiable. The ice cream. You HAVE to serve this with ice cream. And don’t skimp on this either. Go for the full fat, creamy Blue Bell homemade vanilla. You have Blue Bell, right? Uh oh. Google says Blue Bell is only available in 20 states. I really couldn’t imagine not having Blue Bell ice cream. I feel like it’s a close cousin or best friend of mine….

Notes

I have always been a lover of apple, most especially because I grew up in a family where Apple was parent’s best fruits. My dad’s love for apply was indescribable. During the fall, when the fruit was available in large quantity and at a cheaper rate, he made sure we had them stored in our refrigerator. I could remember vividly how my dad told us of the health benefits of this fantastic fruit and why we should make it a preference over other fruits.

As I grew up, Apple became my best fruit. After my marriage, I discovered that my husband disliked it but I made him see reasons why this fruit should be our family choice and today, he is an apple lover. As I continued to explore various ways to make use of Apple as a fruit, I discovered that Apple could be prepared as a fantastic dessert known as Apple Crisp.

Apple crisp is an easy and economical dessert to prepare during the fall when Apple is readily available and can be gotten at a cheaper rate. I prepared this dessert several times, and it remains my kid’s best dessert, so I have decided to share my experience with you.
First, let's talk about the ingredients: The Apple Crisp is made with pure ingredients that are available in the house; you do not need to spend a fortune before preparing it. Some of the ingredients used include apples, flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salted butter. Also, the flavor of this recipe is fantastic, it relies entirely on the apple for its taste, and it can range from sweet to acidic or anything between.

Next is the preparation process, because I dislike spending all my time in the kitchen, I love making foods that can be prepared within a short time frame and I can tell you that it takes less than an hour to bake the Apple Crisp. The process is simple, just preheat your oven to 375 degrees, pour the apples into a ½ quart greased baking dish, then mix all other ingredients in a bowl and pour on top of apples. Bake for 30-35 minutes until crust is bubbly and then you can serve with Blue Bell homemade vanilla ice cream.

Finally, the Apple Crisp is not only a delicious dessert; it also has some fantastic health benefits. First, the apple in it contains Vitamin A that serves as an antioxidant to the body and helps in fighting infections, bacteria’s and any other harmful diseases. It also enhances and boosts the immune system while slowing down ageing effects.

Apple contains nutrients like Iron, Zinc, Copper and Potassium that helps to control the heart rate and blood pressure level. Indeed that Apple crisp recipe is a great and healthy dessert that can be prepared and enjoyed in less than an hour. I dare you to try this fantastic recipe, and you will enjoy it.
